The Final Victory

I’ve heard others talking as if He were dead, But He rose to give life to others instead. I’m only one, small it may seem, But He died and He rose my life to redeem. And likewise, for you He was crucified, Don’t make it for naught that He died. Accept His offer, redemption of sin, And the Spirit He left us will live within. For He arose, a place to prepare, He went ahead until we get there. Eternity awaits us, to praise His name, Through Jesus our Savior we stake our claim. The Father has blessed us by giving His Son, Over Satan and evil our God has won.

Thank you for reading and commenting on "The Final Victory". This poem seems to resonate with people of faith, my kind of people. And no, it doesn't have to be the exact faith I have. :-)

Somethings are just mean to be shared. How can I share my gift of poetry without writing sometimes about the source? It just happens. Thanks for commenting Laura. Bill
